The gun industry has never seen anything like 2020, and the explosion in sales driven by the concerns over rising crime, protests, the coronavirus crisis, and the presidential election are expected to continue.
“Bottom line is that there has never been a sustained surge in firearm sales quite like what we are in the midst of,†the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry trade group, said in a report shared with Secrets.
New sales and customer data collected from gun stores are even more shocking than the latest historic level of FBI background checks for purchases, security clearances, and concealed carry permits.

Hard to even buy some types of ammo now. People are trying to stock up before slow Joe cuts off the supply.

Good luck if you're looking for a short barrel pump shotgun for home defense, they've become unobtanium.

Is there an 'army' of people misled by Marxists in the making?
